Text: | Sing We Now of Christmas |
Tune: | NOËL NOUVELET |
1 Sing we now of Christmas,
Noel, sing we here!
Hear our grateful praises
To the Babe so dear.
Refrain:
Sing we Noel, the King is born, Noel!
Sing we now of Christmas,
Sing we now Noel!
2 Angels called to shepherds,
"Leave your flocks at rest,
Journey forth to Bethl'em,
Find the lambkin blest." [Refrain]
3 In Bethlehem they found him;
Joseph and Mary mild,
Seated by the manger,
Near the holy child. [Refrain]
4 From the eastern country
Came the kings afar,
Bearing gifts to Bethl'em,
Guided by a star. [Refrain]
5 Gold and myrrh they took there,
Gifts of greatest price;
Frankincense to greet the
Child of paradise. [Refrain]
